How a shared hour runs
A 1-on-1 hour already has rest between sets. In a small group, your rest is your partner’s working set. One lap of it:
Daine is on your bar. He picks the load, watches the setup and calls the last rep. Nothing about this set differs from a private session.
Resting, loading their own bar, and staying out of your way. The same two minutes they'd rest anyway.
Your rest runs. Catch your breath, load your plates, watch how their lift is coached.
Their turn under Daine's eye. Their bar, their numbers, maybe a different lift entirely.
Back under, adjusted for whatever he saw in your first set: a cue, a load change, a rep cap.
Chalking up and holding you to the number you said you'd hit.
Round and round until the hour’s work is done. The rest time is the only thing the group shares.
Different levels, same session
Most pairs ask what happens if they’re not at the same level. It doesn’t matter, because you never share a program. Each of you runs your own training at your own loads, written for your own goal, side by side in the same hour.
What you share is someone who notices when you skip, a rep count that gets witnessed, and the extra effort most people find when a friend is watching.
Who to bring
Your partner
One calendar slot, two programs. Neither of you is negotiating gym time away from the other.
Your training partner
The friend you already lift with. Daine adds the programming that turns the rivalry into progress.
A few friends
A shared hour at a better rate per person, and nobody quietly drops out, because the group notices an empty spot.
Nobody to bring? That’s 1-on-1 personal training, the same coaching with the hour to yourself. If your partner lives too far away, online coaching works at a distance.
Common questions
Do we all do the same workout?
No. You share the hour, not the program. Each person gets their own lifts, loads and progression, and Daine coaches whichever bar is working.
My partner is a lot stronger than me. Does that matter?
No. You never lift their weight and they never lift yours. Different bars, different numbers, sometimes different lifts. Mismatched pairs train together all the time.
How many people can we bring?
A partner or a few friends, small enough that Daine still sees every working set. Tell him who you have and he'll say whether it works.
What does it cost?
Less per person than training alone, because the hour is shared. The rate depends on the size of the group and how often you train, and Daine quotes once he knows both.
